MAC needs a deal with ESPN so BG can get on Gameplan More...

Post by BGALUMNI »

ESPN GAMEPLAN brings you maximum college football. Watch the nation's top teams from the BIG TEN, PAC-10, ACC, SEC, BIG XII, BIG EAST and MOUNTAIN WEST every Saturday.



It would be nice to see the MAC added to this list.

the MAC needs a regular TV deal first. Although I live out of the area to catch MAC games of the week, it never seemed like FOX really had rhyme or reason to when they'd have a MAC game on. Always seemed like maybe 4 of the 12 weeks included a MAC broadcast. They're not going to produce games HOPING that people pick it up on GamePlan.

Though I agree (and I think we all agree) that it would be great to have that option available.

without a doubt, but i guess we have to think about how things are going in the economy, im sure they could pull it off, but it does mean hiring camera staff, and qaulity announcers, and so on... What channel has that thing that was like MAC game of the week? BG was on there like 3 times, so that wasnt so bad. BG had 12 games last year, i have Direct TV and i have all of the packages ordered including the Gameplan, i bet i saw more than half the games.... let me think...

OU, SEMO, NIU, WMU, Marsh, UT, Memph

so yes 7 out of 12 isnt bad!
4th & 13 on PU 32yd line.. 56,000 fans up on their feet screaming, i held my breath the entire play trying to make as little noise as possible.. wouldnt u know Sharon would make the biggest touchdown catch in the history of BG Football, FALCON UP!
